The goal is to travel country by country around the globe, 225 countries or more in all, &amp; post up music from every country. I am slowly making my way through Europe at the time. Today (March 14) I am visiting the 13<sup>th</sup> country so far, Denmark. If this sounds like something you might enjoy, stop on by, &amp; as for Digital Meltd0wn, hang in there. There is plenty to find here, &amp; more to come.

The <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Sea Org</span> is a unit of the Church of Scientology, comprising the church's most dedicated members. It was established on 12 August 1967 by Commodore L.Ron Hubbard, the science fiction church's founder. They initially resided on board three ships, the <b><i>Diana</i></b>, the <b><i>Athena</i></b>, &amp; the <i><b>Apollo</b> </i>because they where banned from nearly every country around the globe. In 1971, Sea Org assumed responsibility for the ecclesiastical development of the church, particularly the upper levels of its training known as Operating Thetan<i> </i>or OT. The band itself played a strange semi-skilled brand of garage jazz. The fact is that this band was assembled to gather recruits for Scientology with free "rock concerts" around the world. </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The musick on this album was primarily imagined by L.Ron, honed to its razor sharp mediocrity aboard the <i><b>Apollo</b></i>. Then the musick was recorded over a period of days, recording 14 to 15 hours at a crack, directed by Hubbard. Hubbard had rented a movie theater in Portugal as the recording venue. As the Stars recorded, they were constantly badgered by Hubbard to fit their styles within the narrow confines of Hubbard's vision. He charged them a dollar for every wrong note they played (still, many wrong notes made it into the final recording). When it was over, the Stars owed Hubbard hundreds of dollars for their wrong notes.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">If you are interested in things Scientological, read on…</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Excerpt taken from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Bare-Faced Messiah</span></u></b><b>,</b> a unauthorized biography of L. Ron Hubbard &amp; Scientology by Russell Miller. The Church fought this book in the courts, but in the end lost their case. However, they have used their incredible influence to make sure copies of it are extremely hard to come by (&amp; expensive). Pdf files can be found around the interweb, however. Read on…:</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">First</b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">some Naval background data on Mr Hubbard, quoted from one of his spurious `official' biographies</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">: 'He served in the South Pacific and in 1942 was relieved by fifteen officers of rank and was rushed home to take part in the 1942 battle against German submarines as Commanding Officer of a Corvette serving in the North Atlantic. In 1943 he was made Commodore of corvette squadrons and in 1944 he worked with amphibious forces.' </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Following was a list of seventeen medals awarded to Mr Hubbard, including the Purple Heart and the Navy Commendation Medal, many of them with bronze stars.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Miller writes, “On 18 June, the Navy Department replied, enclosing the four routine medals awarded to former Lieutenant Lafayette R. Hubbard, US Naval Reserve, and noting, 'The records in this Bureau fail to establish Mr Hubbard's entitlement to the other medals and awards listed in your request.'</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The Commodore apparently had no difficulty circumventing this little problem: he quickly put into circulation an eight-by-ten color photograph of twenty-one medals and palms he had won during the war. Some were missing, he explained to the crew. He had actually won twenty-eight medals, but the remainder were awarded to him in secret because naval command were embarrassed that he had sunk a couple of subs in their own 'back yard'.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">In the summer, the Commodore turned his attention from his own image to that of his ship. He was taken with an idea to improve the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Apollo's</i></b>public relations by staging free concerts and dance performances for the local residents at her regular ports of call. After hours of watching television in Queens, he considered himself an expert on popular music and modern dance and believed he had made important `discoveries' about the nature of rock music and the need for a strong heavy beat. He often demonstrated his theories to a mystified Jim Dincalci. On the ship, he was able to put his ideas into practice with his own band, the 'Apollo Stars', made up of volunteers from the crew chosen at auditions conducted by the Commodore with all the confidence and aplomb of a man who had spent a lifetime in show business.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Ken Urquhart, who probably knew more about music than anyone on board, resolutely refused to become involved. 'My favourite composer was Mozart, not the horrible, raucous noise they were making. They practiced on the deck most afternoons, playing music made up by LRH with a very primitive, animal beat. There was no way I was going to go near them.' Mike Goldstein, who had played drums in a semi-professional group while he was at university, volunteered to play with the Apollo Stars in order to get out of the RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force). 'LRH had said anyone in the RPF who was accepted for the band or the dance troupe would be let out. I volunteered because I thought anything was better than running around in a black boiler suit. I was wrong. The band was terrible, awful; it was the most embarrassing thing I have ever done.'</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Hubbard's idea was that the Apollo Stars would be playing on the aft well deck each time the ship entered a harbor and that bookings for both the band and dance troupe would be arranged in advance at every port of call. Since he would be making appearances himself, he had a new uniform designed with a suitably theatrical flair. It featured a powder blue kepi with a lavishly gold-braided peak and a cloak in the same hue, lined with scarlet silk. He looked, Urquhart reported, 'most peculiar'.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Quentin Hubbard, now twenty, began rehearsing with the dance troupe and enjoyed it so much he made the mistake of telling his father he would like to be a dancer. 'Oh no you wouldn't,' Hubbard replied. 'I have other plans for you.' There was no further discussion and Quentin was no longer allowed to perform. Not long afterwards, he made a feeble attempt at suicide while the ship was docked at Funchal in Madeira.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">'He'd gone missing ashore for a while,' said his friend Doreen Smith, 'and while people were out looking for him he just walked back on board. I went to see him in his cabin to make sure he was OK and found him lying on his bunk. He smiled at me and I said, "Hi, how are you feeling?" He said, "Not so good, my stomach's real upset." Then he said, "Doreen, I've done the most awful thing. I've taken a whole lot of pills." I said, "Oh shit. Get out of the bunk and don't go to sleep." I began walking him around the cabin and said, "You know I'm going to have to tell your Dad, don't you?" He nodded and said, "I know. He'll know what to do."'</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Doreen ran to the Commodore's cabin and said 'Quentin's taken some pills.' Hubbard did not need it spelled out. He told Doreen to fetch some mustard from the galley and mixed it into a drink which he made Quentin gulp down. The boy vomited repeatedly and was taken to the sick bay to recover. His father sent down a message that as soon Quentin was well enough to leave the sick bay, he was to be assigned to the RPF. Mary Sue Hubbard, Hubbard’s third wife, who had a reputation for protecting her children against the excesses of the ship's regime, was powerless to intervene. She was supposed to be responsible for welfare on board -- indeed, she had won a special dispensation from the Commodore to allow married couples in the RPF to spend one night together a week -- but knew her husband was in a towering rage over Quentin and there was nothing she could do.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Rebecca Goldstein was among the inmates of the RPF when Quentin arrived. 'It was real tough for him,' she said. 'He was very delicate and refined, not at all self-important, very unlike his father. He had hardly any facial or body hair and it was very hard to say whether he had started shaving. There were rumors that he'd attempted suicide before. He cringed from his father, he was completely overwhelmed by him.'</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The valiant attempts of the Apollo Stars and its associated dance troupe to win the hearts and minds of the Spanish and the Portuguese people did not meet with overwhelming success, although the political climate did not help. There had been a military coup in Portugal earlier in the year and the subsequent unease tended to make the Portuguese nervous of mysterious foreign ships calling at its ports for no apparent reason. The <b><i>Apollo</i></b> had also managed to upset the Spaniards by mistakenly attempting to enter a major naval base at El Firol.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The ship's real problem, however, was that its <i>'</i>shore story' was wearing thin. Portuguese and Spanish port authorities were still being told that the <b><i>Apollo</i></b> was owned by a highly successful business consultancy firm, but all they could see was an old, rust-streaked ship, often festooned with ragged laundry and crewed by young people in tattered, ill-assorted uniforms. It was little wonder that suspicions mounted about its activities and rumors took hold that the ship was operated by the CIA.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Jim Dincalci, who had been put ashore to run a port office in Funchal, Madeira, became alarmed by the rumors. <i>'</i>It seemed to be common knowledge in Madeira that the ship was not what it was supposed to be and most people seemed to think it was a CIA spy ship. I had made friends on the island and had contacts in local Communist cells. The word was that the Communists were out to get the ship next time she arrived in Madeira. I sent telexes to LRH warning him what was happening and advising him not come to Madeira until things had calmed down. I was absolutely shocked to see the ship come into the harbor.'</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Apollo</i></b> arrived in Funchal on 7 October and moored in her usual berth. Emissaries were sent ashore to advertize a 'rock festival' to be held at the weekend, featuring the Apollo Stars. Late on the afternoon of Wednesday, 9 October, while Mary Sue and several members of the crew were ashore, a small crowd of young men began to gather on the quayside. By the way they were glowering and gesticulating at the ship, it was obvious to those on board that this was not a social call. Soon the crowd, which was growing all the time, began chanting 'C-I-A, C-I-A, C-I-A.'</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Nervous Scientologists lining the rails of the ship tried chanting 'CIA' back at the crowd, but it did nothing to lower the tension. Then the first stone clanged against the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Apollo</i></b>'s hull and a bottle smashed on the fore deck. More stones and bottles followed as the crowd's anger spread. The crew scattered to take shelter and began picking up the stones from the deck and throwing them back into the crowd. In a matter of moments it became a pitched battle.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Hubbard, who was watching what was going on from the bridge, got out a bullhorn and boomed 'Communista, Communista’ at the crowd. Then he began taking photographs of the stone-throwers with a flash unit, further inflaming their tempers. Several of the crew were hit by flying stones, including Kima Douglas, whose jaw was broken by a large lump of rock that hit her full in the face. On the quayside, one of the crowd opened his trousers, waggled his penis and took a direct hit with a well-aimed stone from the ship.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">With stones and sticks and bottles flying in all directions, there was total confusion on board the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Apollo</i></b>. Some crew members would later describe the Commodore as being perfectly cool through the whole incident, others said he appeared to be terrified. Whatever his state, no one was taking charge and everyone was screaming orders. In one part of the ship someone was trying to get together a party to repel boarders; in another, the sea hoses were being run out and trained on the crowd in an attempt to persuade them to disperse.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Any remaining vestige of control among the rabble-rousers vanished when the ship turned its hoses on them. On the quayside there were several motor-cycles belonging to members of the crew and two of the ship's cars -- a Mini and a Fiat. All the motor-cycles were hurled into the harbor, then both cars were pushed over the edge of the quay, hitting the water with an enormous splash and quickly disappearing under the surface. Meanwhile, others in the crowd slipped the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Apollo</i></b>'s mooring-lines from the bollards and she began to drift away from the quayside.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">At this point, the Portuguese authorities belatedly appeared on the scene to restore order. Armed militia were put on board to provide protection, a pilot assisted with anchoring the ship in the harbor and a launch rescued those members of the crew who had been stranded ashore, including Mary Sue. The police demanded the film that Hubbard had been taking during the riot and the Commodore, mighty pleased with himself, dutifully handed over two rolls of unexposed film from cameras he had not been using. It was nightfall before the decks had been cleared of the broken glass and rubble.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Since it rather appeared as if the people of Madeira were no longer interested in a rock concert featuring the Apollo Stars, the ship sailed next day, leaving information with the harbor authorities in Funchal that she was heading for the Cape Verde Islands, 1500 miles to the south. She departed on a purposeful southerly course until she was out of sight. She then turned west, equally purposefully, prompting the crew to speculate with mounting excitement that the Commodore had decided to return to the United States.”</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Then some more information on the actual making of this album.</div><div class="MsoPlainText">From “<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The Apollo: Voyage of the Damned</span>” by Neal Hamel:</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Excerpt…</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I Write the Songs That Make the Whole World Gag</span></b></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">“The picture on the cover of the Apollo Stars album shows a peculiarly grim-faced L. Ron Hubbard sitting before the controls of the mixing board, surrounded by his retinue, technical people and musicians.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Hubbard had spent tens of thousands of dollars to obtain the very best recording equipment, yet the Apollo Stars music on this album is technically and musically sub-par. Apparently Hubbard did not understand the basics of mixing. The music on the album sounds as if he did the mix while listening through headphones with cotton in his ears, never bothering to listen to it through speakers. The sound, distorted and mixed in the wrong proportions, is bunched into the right and left channels, an amateur's gross mistake. The rhythm guitarist was mixed in just as loud as the soloists. This way one can clearly hear the same two chords over and over and over and over again (while the high voltage saxophone player plays the ten notes that he knew over and over and over again). The muses were battered and bruised.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Once they had finalized a song, the Stars were only allowed to play their songs one way, no variation in notes, tempo or feeling. Hubbard, satisfied with a rendition of one of their pieces of music would decree that that rendition was the LRH Approved Version. If Hubbard caught them changing the music as he listened to local radio broadcasts there would be hell to pay.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The Apollo Stars were a part of a public relations campaign organized by Hubbard to improve the image of the much beleaguered Apollo. Like all the elements of Hubbard's public relations campaign, it failed and failed dramatically.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Once while docked in a Caribbean port and certainly without Hubbard's permission, the Apollo Stars participated in an all-night jam session with local musicians. Away from the oppressiveness of their hemisemidemigod, reports one of the musicians involved, the music had, for one night away from Hubbard, become enjoyable.</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The decline of the Apollo Stars is a metaphor for the final year of the Apollo. Advance men would arrange free concerts for the locals as part of the arrival of the Apollo into ports. The official concerts deteriorated into lackluster affairs attended by bored locals. Finally the Stars were just abandoned as Hubbard reassigned the musicians to other duties. As things got more and more desperate, Hubbard sent a message to the US Guardian's Office head (DGUS), ordering that a land base be established as there were no places left for the Apollo to go. Hubbard said he was running out of time. The DGUS dispatched an assistant from his office in California to Florida and under the business name of Southern Land Development Corporation arranged the transfer of the Sea Org to a "Land Base".</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">The 'Voyage of the Damned' was over, but the on-shore migration ushered in another chapter in the sorry history of the Sea Org.”</div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br /></div><div class="MsoPlainText">Some final notes about musicians &amp; others associated with the album. On the front cover, Annie Broeker is sitting on the left, then Dan Auerbach, &amp; then Lord L.Ron.

He has returned from his adventures in darkest Africa &amp; is ready to get this beast back in gear. Since Z's sojourn began, KimDotcom has been busted by the Feds &amp; MegaUpload is no more. Then in the panic that followed, MediaFire started shaking in their boots &amp; shut down most of our accounts. Now most of the links in posts of the past are no longer active. We have decided to do our best to re-upload as many as we can. It will be a long, drawn-out process, but ya gotta start somewhere. So I decided to start at the beginning of my tenure here. I have re-upped the seven oldest. There are more to come. If anything touches your fancy or fills your needs, have at it.<br /><br />I received requests for: Alain Goraguer - La Planete Sauvage &amp; Phil Spector's Greatest Hits. You will find them below.<br /><br />Now Zer0_II has moved all the re-instated posts to the head of the class, so I removed them from the list. I think the only one he missed is <u>Kill City</u>, so I better get busy. I'll try to have some more this week-end, but there should be plenty to keep everyone busy. If there is anything anyone wanted re-uploaded, leave a comment here &amp; we'll get to it as fast as we can. Thanks for your patience. <br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal"><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles></xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><img src="//img2.blogblog.com/img/video_object.png" style="background-color: #b2b2b2;

Currently, only three tracks have been made for the project and two of them have been compiled in a demo called "Diluted in Despair and Silence." The tracks in this demo have a sort of sinister foreboding to them that puts one on edge while lulling them to sleep with droning atmospheric repetition. This is how the artist describes the project:<br /><blockquote>The music is purely intended for the user to sleep to and intends nothing more.<br /><br />Key influences include The Descent of the Sun, A Cloud In Circle, Darkspace and Burzum.</blockquote><div class="box2"><b>Year of Release:</b> 2009<br /><b>Genre:</b> Dark Ambient/Drone Noise.<br /><b>Format</b>: MP3<br /><b>Bitrate:</b> Varies</div><br /><div class="box2"><b>Track List:</b><br />1.

Considering I have another horror themed event lined up for December, it compounds the problem even further, as I have devoted most of my free time to researching and listening to horror-inspired music for the past three months. <br /><br />I thought it might be best if I just continue to post albums that contrast with the darker material that I have been posting and will continue to post in December. While Black Merda's name might bring to mind the more morbid music that I've recently been sharing, they are actually a group which emerged during the late '60s that merged psychedelic rock. Before forming Black Merda, the three friends Anthony Hawkins, VC L. Veasey and Charles Hawkins all worked independently of one another as session musicians. Eventually they performed together as The Impacts, backing up several soul and R&amp;B acts affialiated with Motown and Brunswick Records. In 1965 Edwin Starr hired the trio were hired to perform as the backing band for the single "Agent Double-O Soul". Starr was so impressed that he decided to hire the group as his permanent backing band afterwards, dubbing them the Soul Agents. <br /><br />In the latter half of the '60s the group started undergoing a series of changes, which would eventually culminate in the formation of Black Merda. In 1966 the group was introduced to Jimi Hendrix, who would have a profound influence on the trio's approach to music. They began to drift away from their previous sound, choosing to refashion themselves as a rock power trio in the same vein as The Jimi Hendrix Experience. In 1967 Anthony Hawkin's brother Charles was also inducted into the group as a second guitar player to broad the group's sound. The group would continue to evolve, drawing inspiration from the newly emerging hard funk and soul scenes.<br /><br />In 1968 the group decided to move on from their Soul Agents moniker and refashion themselves once again as Black Merda, a psychedelic funk rock group with socially conscious lyrics. In 1969 the group received their big break after Chess Records signed Black Merda to their label based on the recommendation of the famous Temptations member Eddie Kendricks. Chess released Black Merda's self-titled album in 1970. Despite being well received, the album suffered from a lack of promotion due to management changes that were taking place at Chess. The group's follow up efforts were also poorly promoted, prompting the members to return to performing as session musicians to make a living. <br /><br />Looking back in hindsight the group is fondly remembered as one of the pioneering groups of the black psychedelic rock and heavy funk scene, paving the way for groups that expanded on their idea and would eventually eclipse them in fame, such as Fundadelic and The Bar-Kays. I consider Black Merda's self-titled debute album to be their best, and it ranks alongside some of my favorite forgotten groups that merged psychedelic rock with funk, soul and blues, such as <a href="http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2008/03/purple-image-purple-image.html">Purple Image</a>, the <a href="http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2008/04/cosmic-travelers-live-at-spring-crater.html">Cosmic Travelers</a>, <a href="http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2008/11/blo-chapter-one.html">Blo</a>, and <a href="http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2008/11/ofo-black-company-allah.html">Ofo The Black Company</a><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Year of Release:</b> 1970<br /><b>Label:</b> Chess<br /><b>Genres:</b> Psychedelic Rock, Funk, Soul<br /><b>Bitrate:</b> 320kbps</div><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Track List:</b><br />1.

I would like to reiterate the point that I usually remain apolitical in my posts on Digital Meltd0wn. However, the historic nature of the events unfolding in the Middle East peaked my interest, and the overwhelming odds the protesters were faced with and able to overcome captured my heart. I had hoped to get my posts up much sooner, but fortunately NØ was able to put up a couple of amazing posts already. I want to dedicate my first post to Tunisia, the nation that defied all odds, and successfully mounted a peaceful revolution, which inspired massive protests across the Maghreb region of Africa and into the Middle East. <br /><br /><div align="center"><img alt="2011 Tunisian Revolution" height="400" src="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2306/tunisianrevolution.jpg" width="400" /></div><br /><br />Unfortunately the media didn't cover the historic protests in Tunisia nearly as well as they are currently covering the mass protests taking place in Egypt at the moment. I have attempted to read up on what has taken place there, and although I feel as if I have a decent grasp of what has transpired, I also realize that such widespread revolt occurs due to complex issues that an outsider such as myself wouldn't necessarily be aware of. What I do know is that I am in awe of the courage within the Tunisians who rose up and took back their country. It takes a tremendous amount of bravery to stand up against a regime which has a well-known reputation for using brutal force against all who dared to oppose them. <br /><br />The period immediately following a revolution is a very crucial time, which will determine the shape of things to come for Tunisia. Only time will tell what the future holds for Tunisia. The world is watching Tunisia closely now, hoping that the same determination shown by the Tunisian people during their revolutionary actions will continue to be displayed. I sincerely hope that Tunisia will become a model of success in the turbulent Maghreb region, and continue to influence other countries in a positive way. Hopefully Tunisians will continue to fight to forge a fair and honest government, maintain a strong human rights record, build a strong economy and create jobs for those in need of them. <br /><br />I will be the first to admit that I am not intimately familiar with music from the Maghreb region, nor the Middle East. I have managed to collect roughly a dozen albums from nearly every country in the region, but I realize that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. I am making an effort to gain a new understanding and appreciation of the art and culture of Middle Eastern nations. I hope that some of you living in Tunisia will take the time to leave a message. I would like to hear your stories about what is taking place in Tunisia, and what you hope your country will be like in the future. I would also be very grateful if any of you could recommend me some music from your country. I am particularly interested in music that is associated with your revolution, as well as the mass protests taking place in other Middle Eastern countries. <br /><br /><br />Now, on to the music. This album is the 8th volume in a 17 volume box set, compiled by producer David Parsons, and released by the Celestial Harmonies label in 1997. Each volume in the Music of Islam box set comes with a booklet containing extensive liner notes. The liner notes do a much better job of accurately describing the complex compositions and Tunisian instruments than this amateur Western blogger with an untrained ear for Arabic music could hope to do. As I mentioned before, the liner notes are rather extensive, so I'm not going to include them in their entirety, but below I have included a lengthy excerpt containing some of the most relevant information:<br /><br />"Recorded in a house in the medina (old quarter) of the city Tunis, this volume features the traditional instruments and songs of the folkloric music of Tunisia which thrive as a living testament to the wide spectrum of cultures and practices across the world of Islam. Tunisia's location and history have made it a cultural and musical crossroads for the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Tunisia is part of the Maghrib, literally "place in the sunset," or time of sunset," which comprises the countries of Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Libya in Northern Africa. Tunisia is bordered by Algeria on the west, Libya on the southeast, and the Mediterranean to the east and north (Italy lies across the Strait of Sicily, some 144 kilometers away). The semi-arid southern region of the country merges into the Sahara desert.<br /><br />Tunisia's history has been characterized by conquest: Carthage, Rome, the Vandals, and Byzantine, followed by Arabs, Ottoman Turks, and the French. Nearby the capital of Tunis is the site of Carthage, an ancient city-state formed in the 8th century C.E. By the 6th century C.E., the kingdom encompassed most of present-day Tunisia. Carthage fell to the Romans in 146 C.E. and became part of Rome's African Empire. The Vandals, a Germanic tribe from Spain, captured Carthage in 439 C.E. and perpetuated the impact that the norther Mediterranean now had on Africa. The Byzantine heirs of Rome eliminated the Vandals as a force in Africa by reconquering the provinces in 533 until the Muslim invasions of the 1/7 century. After the Arabic conquest in 26/647, the capital was moved from Carthage to al-Kaiouan. At this time, Arabic replaced Latin, Islam replaced Christianity, and new customs associated with Islamic life were introduced. Tunis became the capital city under Aghlabids (184-297/800-909) and attained its greatest prosperity under the Hafsid dynasty (625-982/1227-1574). The Turks took possession in 946/1539, followed by the Spaniards (981/1573) and the Ottoman Empire in 982/1574. It remained in the hands of the Ottoman Empire until Tunisia became part of the French colonial administyration as a protectorate in 1298/1881. The Republic of Tunia claimed its independence from France in 1376/1956.<br /><br />Thirty centuries ago, Phoenicians established colonies on the coast of the land inhabited by people who would later be referred to as Berbers. The Greeks referred to the people using a derogatory term bararoi (barbarian) simply because the indigenous Burber people were so culturally different. Berber is actually the name of a language which has almost completely died out. Today, Berbers make up about two percent of the population and live in isolated villages in the south. Modern Tunisians derive their ancestry from a variety of ethnic groups who came to the region in waves of migration. In 897/1492 the last Arabs left in Spain and took refuge in the Maghrib. Later, Turks contributed to the population, Sub-Saharan lblacks, many of whom entered Tunisia as slaves, are yet another part of the population, as well as southern Europeans, many from Sicily. Among the population of 8.5 million, the majority are Arab-Berber who practice Islam as the dominant religion. Arabic is the official language whereas French is still the lanuage of commerce and in the press.<br /><br />Tunis, the capital and largest city of Tunisia, situated along a coastal lagoon that opens into the Mediterranean Sea. The city was built by Arabs embellished by Turks, and is now flanked by the architecture of the French colonial period. The nucleus of Tunis is the densely populated medina (old city) with its low white buildings, inner courtyards, and narrow streets. In the X/16th century, Tunis became an important site for cultivating the nubah (classical Arabic: nawbah), an Andalusian form of art music popular in the Maghrib. It is also known in Tunisa as ma'luf. <br /><br />Folk music is played for a variety of occasions, including weddings, festivals, and parties for celebration and dance. Like folk music in other parts of the Arabic world, the folk music of Tunisia features collective singing, small and large forms of solo singing, and instrumental music. The instruments and music played in folk ensembles are described in the following section. <br /><br />The main melodic instrument heard on this recording is the mizwid (also called mezwed), a bagpipe played in the central regions of Tunisia. A bagpipe is a reed instrument with an airtight skin reservoir (bag). Various types of bagpipes are known in Asia, North Africa, and Europe. The wind enters through a blow pipe supplied by the lungs of the player or through a bellows. Melody is produced by manipulating fingered melody pipes (sometimes called chanters). The player compresses the bag to produce enough air to resonate through the reeds of melody pipes. An uninterrupted sound can be produced as the compressed wind from the bag passes therough the reeds. Oftentimes a drone pipe (unfingered) is inserted into the bag. The mizwid has two melody pipes and no drone pipes. Each pipe has five holes and at the end of each pipe, a section of cowhorn is attached which serves as a sound opening (thus, the more accurate name "bag-horn-pipe"). In instrumental music, the long flowing melodies of the mizwid seem to soar above the pulese of the percussion group. In vocal music, the mizwid echoes, punctuates, and connects individual vocal phrases.<br /><br />The tabal (Arabic: tabl) is a double-headed cylindrical drum that comes in different sizes. The heads are covered with goatskin. It hangs across the player's chest and is beaten with the hand of a palm branch. The bendir (also called bandir or bindir), is a type of circular frame drum approximately 40-60cm in circumference. A frame drum consists of a membrane stretched over a light wooden frame. Drums of this type originated in the Middle East. The bendir has "snares" stretched across the inside of the head which vibrate against the membrane. The goblet drum darabukkah is traditionally made of wood or clay; however, newer models are made of brass or metal. Fresh skin, goatskin, or sheepskin, often glued to the rim of the body, cover the larger opening of the drum. The drabukkah may be held under the arm in a standing position or resting on the thigh when played in a seated position. The head is struck with both hands. Heavy beats are played in the middle of the drum and lighter beats are payed on the outer rim. Used for folk music, art music, in city and village settings, the darabukkah is a ubitquitous instrument in music of the Middle East. The tar is a tambourine (a type of frame drum) with five pairs of cymbals. It is normally held in the left hand and struck with the right. The tar may be played with fingers, knuckles and palms."<br /><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Year of Release:</b> 1997<br /><b>Label:</b> Celestial Harmonies<br /><b>Catalog #:</b> 13148-2<br /><b>Genres:</b> Arabic Music, Traditional Folk, </div><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Track List:</b><br />1.

A duo comprised of Steve Moore and Anthony Paterra utilize live drums, electric bass and a collection of analog synthesizers to rock you to Earth and fly you to the cosmos. They have an impressive aptitude for lush, warm soundscapes. If you are a fan of any of the artists mentioned above, you may become a new fan of Zombi.

Undoubtedly there are thousands typing "the exorcist soundtrack" or "the shining soundtrack" into G00gle. It's understandable. The pieces of music used in William Friedkin's 1973 religious horror staple were well chosen. Penderecki pieces dominate this collection. It's always safe to go with Penderecki if you want to frighten your audience or generally instill a feeling of queasiness.

They are associated with the DIY and squatter punk communities and often play at tiny venues with a more intimate setting. They released two LPs with singer a.Punkt, her voice adding even more to their unusual sound, before GPE became the drum-n-cello instrumental duo that they remain today.<br /><br />The first LP, <i>Distorted Wonderland</i>, I sought for some time before finally I found a copy in decent condition. This album is a smorgasbord of noise and grooves at times ringing out with a punk fury and other times a frenetic and cinematic adventure that is never dull. The synthesis of keyboard with the cello makes for a sort of magical realism in the realm of sound. This LP is brimming over with creativity and energy that always inspires me. I'm really happy to share it with you all today.

Originally released on cassette from the label, "The Happiest Place on Earth" in 1988, <b>"Assertive Discipline"</b> is one of the most pleasurable trips to a dark, isolated hell one can take. Assertive Discipline opens with "Bottling Room Part I &amp; II," dark ambient pieces spliced with screams, horrifying gasps for air, and coughing samples. It leaves one with the feeling of being in a claustrophobe's nightmare. The creepy factor does not let up as the album moves on into "Dolls Theater," a chilling track featuring baby wails and an eerily placed rendition of "Rockabye Baby." And the track, "The Worst Hell," lives up to its title. I hope you enjoy this shared Rozz side project as much as I do, because sharing is caring!<br /><br /><b>Year of Release:</b> 1988<br /><b>Genre:</b> Noise, Experimental, Industrial, Dark Ambient<br /><b>Label:</b> The Happiest Place on Earth<br /><br /><b>Track List</b><br /><br />1.

Fugi, also known as Ellington Jordan, was a part of the Detroit Chess Records scene in the sixties. He was friends with Black Merda, and this CD is basically Black Merda with Fugi writing lyrics and singing. If you loved the <a href="http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2010/11/black-merda-black-merda-1970-320kbps.html">Black Merda</a> album posted by Zer0_II in October of last year as I did, what you will find here is something quite similar musically.<br /><br />I heard this album and knew I had to post it because 1) it is jaw-droppingly groovy and 2) there is a copy for sale for $50 bucks on Amazon. Even the romantic love type ballads are awesome, so it makes for a consistently entertaining listening experience. The bass sounds sick, the wakajawaka guitar riffs are hypnotizing, and Fugi's voice is so full of soul it keeps me coming back for more. It is a real shame this is the only thing this particular line up recorded, at least as far as I know. It was never released until Tough City put it out on CD and LP in 1996.<br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Year of Recording:</b> 1968<br /><b>Year of Original Release:</b> 1996<br /><b>Year of Reissue:</b> 2004<br /><b>Label:</b> Funky Delicacies<br /><b>Catalog #:</b> DEL CD 0004<br /><b>Genre:</b> Psychedelic Rock, Funk, Soul<br /><b>Media:</b> CD<br /><b>Format:</b> MP3<br /><b>Bitrate:</b> 320 kbps</div><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Track List:</b><br />1 Revelations 5:37<br />2 Mary, Don't Take Me on No Bad Trip 6:30<br />3 I'd Rather Be a Blind Man 3:27<br />4 Can't You Hear Me Call You, Woman 4:27<br />5 Save A Little 3:33<br />6 Jo-Jo 4:29<br />7 Red Moon 5:54<br />8 Sweet Sweet Lady 6:10<br />9 Revelations (previously unreleased take) 5:22</div><br /><br /><div class="download"><b>Download:</b> <a href="http://www.depositfiles.com/files/muaz8ufht">Fugi - Mary, Don't Take Me On No Bad Trip (1968)</a><br /><b>Download Size:</b> 103 MB</div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DigitalMeltd0wn/~4/F9eXDcCOwuQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DigitalMeltd0wn/~3/F9eXDcCOwuQ/fugi-mary-dont-take-me-on-no-bad-trip.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Strange Ranger)7http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2011/07/fugi-mary-dont-take-me-on-no-bad-trip.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34659035.post-5722208605707994803Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:15:00 +00002013-02-16T17:17:03.789-08:00BootlegScience-FictionSoundtrackTelevision SoundtrackDominic Frontiere - The Invaders (Unofficial Soundtrack) (1967 - 320kbps)<a href="http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2471/foldervih.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2471/foldervih.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 450px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 450px;" /></a><br /><div class="custom-link"><span class="caps">I</span>nformation about the origin and all other details regarding this album are extremely scarce. The music appears to be isolated and ripped from the 5.1 surround sound of a DVD of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invaders">The Invaders</a>, a science-fiction television show which premiered in 1967, and ran for only two seasons. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Frontiere">Dominic Frontiere</a>, perhaps better known for composing the music for the television show "The Outer Limits", composed the theme and incidental music for the entire series. I picked this album up several years back on a torrent site, and have attempted to track down where this album originated from ever since, without much luck I might add. The only other place I have seen it mentioned is when the exact same release was posted a few months ago on the <a href="http://soundtrackuniverse.wordpress.com/">Soundtrack Universe blog</a>. In his post johndoever states:<br /><br /><i>"I’ve been waiting for a soundtrack release of this TV series ever since I first saw it (re-runs in the 70′s),<br />however the rights are owned by CBS through Paramount Pictures and they have yet to release a soundtrack. So where did this soundtrack come from your thinking, well I cannot remember exactly, I downloaded it years back, there is no tracklisting since its not an official release, but each track is perfect 320kb quality, i can vouch for that personally, whom ever the original owner is, they have done a top notch job bringing this about. In total there are 94 tracks, that spans the entire 2 TV seasons i’m guessing. Usually “Unofficial” soundtracks are ripped/extracted from the actual TV DVD’s, and you can tell, but this is different, I’ve listened to every track, and theres no words to describe the quality of this." - johndoever</i><br /><br />Ordinarily I wouldn't post this soundtrack due to the complete lack of information available. However, I am posting this today for two reasons. The first, and most obvious, being that this soundtrack contains an amazing selection of music composed by Dominic Frontiere, which fits in perfectly with our ongoing theme here at DM, "Sci-Fi September." Second, I'm hoping that someone might step forward and provide some information about this release. I have a feeling that it may have been posted on the now defunct Master Cylinder blog, or perhaps one of the subforums of Isbum's World, and I'm hoping someone can confirm this for me. It would also be great to have a track listing for this release. If you have any information about this release, please leave a comment.<br /><br />As with my previous posts, I'm keeping this brief since I'm very short on time. I hope that the links I provided above will satisfy your curiosity about the composer, Dominic Frontiere, and the show itself. <br /><br /><b>Year of Release:</b> Unknown<br /><b>Label:</b> NA / Unofficial Release<br /><b>Genres:</b> Soundtrack, Science-Fiction<br /><b>Bitrate:</b> 320kbps<br /><br /><div class="download"><br /><b>Download Disc 1:</b> <a href="http://www23.zippyshare.com/v/35671436/file.html">Dominic Frontiere - The Invaders (Disc 1)</a><br /><b>Download Size:</b> 75MB<br /><br /><b>Download Disc 2:</b> <a href="http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/73951422/file.html">Dominic Frontiere - The Invaders (Disc 2)</a><br /><b>Download Size:</b> 86MB</div><br /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DigitalMeltd0wn/~4/F9kTLNW0JRk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DigitalMeltd0wn/~3/F9kTLNW0JRk/dominic-frontiere-invaders-unofficial.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Zer0_II)6http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2010/09/dominic-frontiere-invaders-unofficial.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34659035.post-2841342270774628252Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:54:00 +00002013-02-17T12:24:51.328-08:00GialloHorrorItalian HorrorSoundtrackBruno Nicolai - Perché Quelle Strane Gocce Di Sangue Sul Corpo Di Jennifer?

I honestly have not heard much other work by composer Elliot Goldenthal, but I'll probably look for some more after just revisiting this score. I know that, like my last two posts, this score is all over the internet. Just call this an upgrade because it is in 320 kbps. The main theme here has surely invoked comparisons to <i>The Amityville Horror</i>, as will just about any horror score that utilizes a children's choir. This album is short and sweet. It is perfect for playing in the background on the porch while you wait for the little demons to come trick-or-treating. Some might even wet their pants.

For those of you who missed it the first time around, I hope you enjoyed this amazing set of psychedelic rock compilations.<br /><br /><span class="caps">H</span>ere is the 3rd installment of the Arf Arf label's series of 60's garage-psych rock compilations. I found out the name of the remaining album, which I have yet to download. It's called A Heavy Dose of Lyte Psych. I'll begin the search for that one tomorrow, so hopefully I can complete the series.<br /><br />What sets this apart from the many other similar '60s garage-psych releases is the extremeness of the music. Tracks collected here feature grungier guitars, slower or varied tempos and darker and more ominous atmosphere than earlier punk singles...and more fuzz and heavier feedback (even the occasional oscillator). These tracks were typically cut later than many of the other garage-band compilation series, and influences are second generation bands like Steppenwolf, Blue Cheer, Love, and the Stooges. While poppier sounds are eschewed on these sides, according to the liner notes these heavier slabs are the flip sides of lighter material. If the ballads on garage comps are the ones you skip over, by all means pick up a copy of this collection...you won't be disappointed. An extra bonus are six caveman-stomping cuts by the Boneheaded 31 Flavors, originally from two low-budget psych-sploitation albums on the Crown label.<br /><br /><b>Label:</b> Arf!

We weren't the only blog affected by these events. A truly massive amount of albums were lost, and nearly every music blog took a tough blow because of this. I consider it to be a true tragedy that hundreds of bloggers decided to call it quits following these two incidents. A blogger that many of you will hopefully be familiar with, øשlqæda, was kind enough to help me out by informing me of the source behind this particular rip. It pains me to see his name in the comments section, as he was the admin of a legendary blog, Holy Warbles, which was removed by Blogger last year. Fortunately, there are still hundreds of amazing blogs which managed to weather the storm, and new blogs popping up each day. This particular album was originally posted by Gianni almost four years ago on one of those amazing blogs that did manage to survive, <b>The Growing Bin</b> (<a href="http://thegrowingbin.blogspot.com">http://thegrowingbin.blogspot.com</a>). The download link has been inactive for a very long time though, and with this being so very rare, I feel obligated to ensure that it remains available to download for anyone who is curious enough to listen. Fortunately, there are plenty of new albums being regularly shared over at the Bin. If you haven't had a chance to stop by the The Growing Bin, do yourself a favor and get your ass over there.</div><br /><br /><span class="caps">C</span>ontinuing with our library music marathon, I present to you an extremely rare and obscure album released on the Liuto library label in 1973. The artist credited on this release, M. Zalla, is actually one of the numerous aliases of another prolific composer of production music, Italian composer Piero Umiliani. I was surprised to discover that this was not posted on either The Library Hunt, or 36-15 Moog, two blogs ran by library music enthusiast Paul Durango, which both contained a massive amount of early electronic and library music albums. I plan to post a few more Umiliani albums either this month, or some time in January. I have two important research papers to work on for school tonight and tomorrow, so I don't have the time to write my own review. There isn't much information floating around about this album. This excerpt from Delirious Music contains some basic info about Umiliani, his M. Zaa alias, and the concept of the album.<br /><br />"A rare and obscure concept Library on the problems of modern life, released on the Liuto label and produced by the master of Italian soundtracks himself, Piero Umiliani, here under his alias M. Zalla. 'Problemi D'Oggi' falls into Umiliani's highly experimental, psychedelic / electronic phase and was recorded in 1973 in the legendary Sound Workshop studio in Rome. the music presented here deeply reflects the pessimistic nature of the issues in charge (social problems, terrorism, world crisis, industrial production, conflicts, mafia), a dark and disturbing listening experience from start to finish with some tracks reproducing the same progressive type of vibe, which Umiliani's Braen project / collaboration with Alessandro Alessandroni got cult status for. while the B-Side is loaded with abstract, minimal electronic soundscapes, the highlights are concentrated on Side A: the weird opener 'Produzione' has a trance-like progressive ambient sound style, a futuristic groover way ahead of its time with a hyperfast bass driven beat, excessive conga percussion and really amazing synthisizer effects. 'Mondo In Crisi' respectively 'Non Mollare' reveal strong dramatic undertones produced by an impressive exchange between trippy Hammond waves and droning fuzz guitar chords over hard drums. very progressive and imaginative, this is delirious Italian Production Music and a feast for the sophisticated, openminded ear! - Delirious Music"<br /><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Year of Release:</b> 1973<br /><b>Label:</b> Liuto<br /><b>Catalog #:</b> LRS 0056<br /><b>Genres:</b> Psychedelic, Electronic, Musique Concrète, Experimental<br /><b>Bitrate:</b> 192kbps<br /></div><br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Track List:</b><br /><br />A1.

I hadn't heard of the band, nor had anyone else I know. I was pleasantly surprised when I played it for the first time and heard the first track 'Freedom Train'. There isn't much information out there about the band, nor this particular album. Apparently this is a very rare and previously out of print album, which was only recently re-issued on CD. It includes a bonus track, which is a live version of the aforementioned 'Freedom Train'. They have a dirty and powerful blues rock sound, and I would venture to say that they sound very psychedelic at times also. Here's some more information about the album which I managed to dig up: <br /><br />When Welsh-based covers band Strawberry Dust got some gigs supporting The Eyes Of Blue they impressed John Weathers and he approached their then record company boss Lou Reizner about signing them. This he did but he changed their name to Ancient Grease. When they entered the studio to record Women And Children First Weathers and other Eyes Of Blue members also helped out. After the album was released in July 1970 the band reverted to its original monicker Strawberry Dust and spent a short while in Hamburg. They disintegrated on their return but Mortimer and Williams later lined up in Racing Cars.<br /><br /><div class="box2"><b>Year of Release:</b> 1970<br /><b>Label:</b> Mercury<br /><b>Catalog #:</b> SR 61305<br /><b>Genres:</b> Psychedelic, Blues Rock, Hard Rock<br /><b>Format:</b> MP3<br /><b>Bitrate:</b> 256kbps<br /></div><br /><div class="box2"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=34659035">Track List:</a><br />1.

Fact is, it’s just a mind-movie, but this here is the OST. Before becoming a King himself, while still a princeling under the tutelage of the true King Tubby, Lloyd James<span style="font-style: italic;"> aka</span> Prince Jammy created this soundtrack. Scientist &amp; others at Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound had already done sci-fi themed albums. But <u>Destroys the Invaders</u> is Jammy at his finest. Before ruling the modern dancehall, Jammy dubbed it up here with the rock-solid Roots Radics rhythm section. You want strange alien encounters or all-out battles in outer space, well you’ve come to the right place.

I though it would help me organize my thoughts &amp; determine my choices for posting musick. Now I’m getting bored with the procedure. So today I’m hitting the next three letters all at once...I-ggy Pop, J-ames (Sonny Boy) Williamson, &amp; K-ill City.<br /><br />After the second break-up of The Stooges (the first break-up &amp; reformation added Williamson to The Stooges as Ron Asheton moved from guitar to bass &amp; Dave Alexander moved from alcoholic to dead) Iggy &amp; Sonny Boy recorded <u>Kill City</u>. This disc is somewhere in the no-mans land between The Stooges &amp; Iggy’s solo career. Although maligned by many (mostly for its less than stellar production values), this is by far my favorite post-Stooges work by Mr. Pop (&amp; really damn good considering Iggy was in drug rehab at the time).<br /><br />Released in 1977 by Bomp Records. All tunes written by Iggy Pop &amp; James Williamson except “Master Charge” by James Williamson &amp; Scott Thurston, with Scott ‘Troy’ Thurston (keyboard &amp; electric piano player for The Stooges after <u>Raw Power</u>) &amp; Tin Machinists Tony &amp; Hunt Sales (Soupy boys). Players on this album are: Iggy Pop - vocals; James Williamson - guitar; Scott Thurston - keyboards, bass, backing vocals, special effects, &amp; harmonica; Brian Glasscock - drums, congas, African beaters, backing vocals, &amp; guiro; Steve Tranio - bass; Tony Sales - backing vocals &amp; bass; Hunt Sales - backing vocals &amp; drums; John Harden - saxophone; &amp; Gayna (from the Count Dracula Society) - backing vocals on “Night Theme”.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Year of Release</span>: 1977<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Label</span>: Bomp Records BLP-4001<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre</span>: Garage rock, protopunk<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tracklist</span>:<br />Side 1 -<br />Kill City<br />Sell Your Love<br />Beyond the Law<br />I Got Nothin’<br />Johanna<br />Night Theme<br />Side 2 -<br />Night Theme (reprise)<br />Consolation Prizes<br />No Sense of Crime<br />Lucky Monkeys<br />Master Charge<br />(there are no breaks between tracks 1&amp;2, 4&amp;5 side 2 so I have included the split &amp; merged tracks for you personal choice)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Download</span>: <a href="http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/95011063/file.html">Iggy Pop &amp; James Williamson - Kill City</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Download Size</span>: 102MB (ripped from emerald green vinyl at 320Kbps)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DigitalMeltd0wn/~4/ixdA0llOUIk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DigitalMeltd0wn/~3/ixdA0llOUIk/ijk.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (NØ)5http://digitalmeltd0wn.blogspot.com/2009/11/ijk.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34659035.post-3872692581981878478Fri, 01 Feb 2013 02:09:00 +00002015-06-19T23:47:20.627-07:00BootlegCompilationSoundtrackVarious Artists - Eat Me!

This sub genre is a collection of graphically gory movies<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>usually depicting cannibalism by primitive, Stone-age natives deep inside the Asian or South American rain forests. Although not all cannibal films show cannibalism on screen, all the movies are connected with the genre by stating that the tribe is cannibalistic &amp; while cannibalism is the common denominator of these films, the general emphasis focuses more on various forms of shocking, realistic, &amp; graphic violence, usually torture, rape, castration &amp;/or <span class="mw-redirect">animal cruelty</span>. Similar to Mondo films, the main draw of cannibal films was the promise of gore, exotic locales, &amp; cruel behavior. They eventually became a popular feature of Grindhouse culture. The peak of the genre’s popularity was from 1977 to 1981, a period that has come to be known as the cannibal boom.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Due to their graphic content, the films of this subgenre are often the center of controversy.
